DAYANG DAYANG (ORIGINAL VERSION)

This Original Version of Dayang-Dayang was originally sung by HAINUN PANGILAN. She belongs to a Ethnic Group called "SAMA" in the Southernmost part of the Philippines and that Local dialect spoken was SINAMA/SIYAMAL. I personally knew this singer who became my neighbor for long years. She recently lived in SITANGKAY, TAWI-TAWI. Till now if there are some Celebrations or Parties, People still request her to sing a various songs locally popularized by her.

To those who have no idea how f legend this song is in the Philippines, it is ALWAYS played in every party, birthday, radio, or any occasion. I think it is the only Filipino song that NEVER died until today. It became part in our culture. Its popularity here is non-stop since it was released. We grew up with this music and created many memories. If there's really an immortal Filipino song, it should be "Dayang Dayang". Edit: Everyone in the comments debating whether it is truly a Filipino song or not. I have no idea too. Whether it is true or not, it's already part of us.

This song was played on every province in the philippines back then 🇵🇭

My Lola just passed away today and listening to this song brings memories of her dancing to this song. I miss her a lot.

This was composed by young female badjao. While sailing or paddling they use to sing for hours and mentioning names on their songs to any tune (like love song) they do this to avoid getting bored while paddling for many hours or sailing. During the early 80s most badjao children sing dayang dayang while playing, then later some adult badjao adopted the song and added some lyrics. The song scattered up to Sabah Malaysia where badjao use to travel to find means to earn a living. The original song was no musical instrument at all it was just pure vocal and some filipino muslim in Sabah created the musical tunes synchronization using mini or midi piano and recorded it using cassette tape recorder just for fun then it became popular in badjao and non badjao community in Sabah. The song with its complete musical tunes in a cassette tape became popular in Sulu too. During the 90s it was first popularized by Muslim CD/DVD vendors in Zamboanga city by repeatedly playing on thier audio player. Ps. Just found these on different video back then lol Btw sa mga nag tatanong kung sino yung singer sya po si Hainun na galing Tawi-tawi the language that used was sinama not tausug, but most of the lyrics was gibberish if you interested on hainun here's one of her song https://youtu.be/7I1NFepOFEI

The original version of “Dayang Dayang” Pakiring song-dance of the Filipino Muslims of Mindanao, Sulu Archipelago and Sabah is originally based on the traditional song called Kiriring Pakiriring and often accompanied with the dance. The song was later popularized when it was re-recorded by an unknown artist under the title, Dayang Dayang, however some of the lyrics have been changed and is considered by many to be largely gibberish since the altered words had no meaning behind them and were not related to any dialect or language. The meaning of its name is believed to be referring to Hadji Dayang Dayang Piandao, the first lady of Sulu, since the word dalay-dalay was a title given only to the daughters of the Sultan. In the 90’s, the version is widely known across the Philippines rather than the original but its origin and the artist who recorded it remains a mystery. It also had many versions in different languages in the different regions in the Philippines.

This song is loved here in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱💥❣️
